Tiger Woods, live scores, Day 4 highlights

The future looks bright for Tiger Woods after the 79-time PGA TOUR victor successfully negotiated all four rounds at the Hero World Challenge in his long-awaited comeback from back surgery. "I have always said that Tiger has a great work ethic, and he has put in the time and hard work to first get healthy and then to ready himself for competitive golf".

Hoffman countered two bogeys and a double-bogey with six birdies in a 70 at Albany Golf Club course for a 14-under total of 202.

Overnight leader Charley Hoffman (72) faded to second at 274 with England's Tommy Fleetwood (67) and Jordan Spieth (69) tied for third at 12-under 276.

Woods had earlier reached the turn in 31, including an eagle two at the seventh, as he shot a final round 68 to bounce back from Saturday's three-over-par 75.

His second shot hit a rock hidden in the sand, leaving him with a hard up and down to save par.

For the day, Woods missed two of 13 fairways off the tee and hit 13 of 18 greens in regulation.

A further bogey followed on the par-five third when an attempted chip onto the green struck the bank and rolled back. He looks to battle back into contention in the fourth round.

"It's ridiculous, it took me 14 holes to make a birdie", he said. "At that time, I had already played four par-fives and nothing happened". But, hey, it's just one of those days. tomorrow is another fight. "Today it was a lot, unfortunately".

"Tiger is wonderful for the game, and I am like many fans who are delighted to see him playing again", Nicklaus said. "It feels good", he said.
